New job! Let the madness begin!

The Edwards LP Customs have ebony fretboards
Ebony is still possible to ship across borders without considering CITES.
It's mostly Dalbergia (Rosewood) that is the culprit.

Indeed, the guitar I want has an Ebony board. I'm glad someone brought this up..

Congrats man! I got divorced back in November (not my choice) and always wanted a great electronic Roland drum set to get back into drums. I had only dabbled off and on since the 80s. I was tight with money, saving up and sometimes having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner so I could put the money toward saving for this thing. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one and then found out my company gave me a bonus! Was the best feeling in the world. Guilt free purchase.

It sucks when hard times hit and you have to play thru really cheap gear but it really helps you appreciate when you can get something nice. When I setup the drum kit a few weeks ago, I was like "I earned this. I saved for this!" and have been having a blast with it.

So PB&J for dinner isn’t normal?

Awesome! It's worth checking out the Boss katana. My wife just got me the 100 watt head. Love it. Huge bang for your buck amp

I've debated that.

I fully agree with your observation about used gear being sold for insane prices at the moment. I have no idea who/why would (someone) buy used gear for that much instead of just paying a bit for more brand new stuff.
